Dan Wolken had the worst take of the year for laughing at LSU's hire of Ed Orgeron

Dan Wolken... tweeted in 2017: yesterday a college football coaches agent called me. He said LSU hired Ed Orgeron. We laughed for a few minutes. So good job, Dan that turned out to be the worst take ever. Who's laughing now bitch? Haha.

Ed Orgeron led LSU to an undefeated season and a national title, proving the initial laughter at the hire wrong.

Rob Gronkowski is definitely coming back to the NFL.

Rob Gronkowski and his fake retirement because he's definitely coming back. Definitely coming back... Lindsey Vonn was like, oh, we're a bunch of old people. And he took great offense to that. Which means he's coming back.

Correct. Gronk sat out 2019 but returned to play for the Buccaneers in 2020.

Bill Simmons 'spiked the football' too early on the 2018-19 Celtics.

Attacking that little extra part at the end, [Bill Simmons said] 'they're going to be up 30 points in a lot of them.' In a lot of them. Yeah, that's just spiking the football when you haven't even scored yet.

Simmons' prediction was objectively incorrect as the Celtics struggled and were bounced early.

I guarantee the Takie Awards will be a live show next year

Next year, it's going to be a live show. I'm actually guaranteeing that right now. I want to do it at Guy Fieri's restaurant, like in the back room.

The 2017 Takie Awards were a major video production and featured a more robust presentation, satisfying the spirit of the 'live show' guarantee.
